Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Malo Latinois raised to 1,000,000 on the button before Charles Russell three-bet to 3,500,000 in the small blind. Latinois moved all in and Russell called for 13,950,000.
Charles Russell: J?J?
Malo Latinois: K?10?
Russell was ahead with his jacks but was forced to sweat out the rest of the board as the 9?5?2? flop gave Latinois a flush draw. The A? turn was safe for Russell, while the 6? fell on the river and Russell survived to earn a double up.
